THE BIGGER THE BULGE, THE BETTER...

I know what you are thinking, and shame on you...Before you guys get all flustered and red in the face, let it be known that I am speaking of Xmas stocking bulges..lol  

Always being one that enjoys paying attention to detail, I figured, why not stuff the stockings of your love ones with some cool gifts?  however, if they suit your fancy, by all means, keep them for yourself.  

No matter if you are trying to be more frugal and watching your electric bill, or that you are trying to set a bit of a mood... Candles are always good to have around the house.   And if you are going to give them as a gift, why not these from Julius?   Act fast, these candles are limited edition. 

Although not as exclusive as the candles, these Julius zipper gloves are capable of adding the needed edge to any look. 

Whether your love one will have anything to put in it after the holiday season is over is questionable, but this numeric black leather wallet made by Comme des Garcons will make them feel like a million bucks.

For those of you that have a love for the unconventional, there is artwork and clothing from downtown New York artist Scooter LaForge.  Click his name to read more about all of his amazing talents.

Books are always a great thing to give as gifts.  Paying attention to your friends own personal style will help you with your selections.

Although a year old, The Sartorialist is a favorite of mine.  Scott Schuman fills his book with fashionistas everyday street style. 

  Kristin Knox pays tribute to the late Alexander McQueen.  The book can be found at Urban Outfitters and contains an abundance of designs from this icon. 

As we get closer and closer to Xmas, I can only hope that you guys are nearly done with all of your shopping.  I hope that these few ideas come in handy.
